15 NEW Knitting Patterns You NEED to See! ¦ Cables & Textures

In today's episode I'm sharing with you tons of brand new knitting patterns that feature beautiful cables and lots of texture. Welcome back to Knitting by the Bay. My name is Christy and this is a podcast all about making but mostly knitting. In today's episode I wanted to share with you a whole bunch of brand new patterns that have recently caught my eye. These ones include a lot of cables or textures just really beautiful knits for the autumn and winter season. So it's been a little while since I've sat down to film a podcast. I'm not really sure what happened. I just took a week off and then a week led to another week and then another week and now here we are. So I haven't yet announced the winner for my last podcast which was the roundup bundle of cardigan sweater. So I'm going to do that now. So this is the winner. And if this is you, congratulations and please just send me an email, my email address is down below or you can contact me through my Ravelry account or on Instagram and all of those details will be listed down below and we will talk about how I can get that free knitting pattern to you. And then for today's bundle, I would love to do another giveaway. So all you have to do to enter is leave me a comment down below and you'll automatically be entered to win the pattern of your choice. So for today's bundle, I've made sure to include a lot of lesser known designers. I really like to do that to just give some other designers a little bit more of a chance of being seen. I'm not choosing these patterns just because they're new designers. I've chosen them because they really stood out to me and I really liked them. So that's why they've made it onto the list. But I think it's great to share a little bit more from lesser known designers. There will also be some free patterns included on the list as well. Before we get started on the bundle, I wanted to share with you today's sponsor, which is Bob and Brad. I've worked with Bob and Brad in the past. They sent me their hand massager and I absolutely loved it. It is so great for people who use their hands to do crafts and might be experiencing some hand pain. And they just recently reached out to me to see if I wanted to try out their foot massager. If you've been here before, you might have heard me talk about How I have numbness in my feet. I have multiple sclerosis, so I'm not really sure if that's what it's from. I've talked with my neurologist and my other specialists, and they're not really sure if that's what it's from. But anyway, I do have numbness in my feet, and I just recently started running again. And so I've got some numbness and pain in my feet. And then also, my husband has just started, he's just taken up ultra running, which is Not just marathon running, but it's like running for a very long time. He just completed his first ultra run, which was an eight hour endurance challenge that they had at Horseshoe Valley in Ontario. So you had to run for eight hours straight. You could run, you could walk, you could do whatever. And then it was a competition to see how many. laps of the course you could do in eight hours and he did so great for his first ever ultra run but as you can imagine after being on your feet for eight hours his feet were killing him as well as he's been training for the past few months too. So he's been using the foot massager a lot and really really liking it. So I'll show you what it looks like. So this has all the different functions on it. You can have a massager that massages the bottom of your feet and then there's inflatable massager that wraps around your entire foot and it feels just like somebody is squeezing and massaging your foot. So that is really great. For me, I have numbness and tingling in the top of my foot. So the other regular foot massagers just massage the bottom of your foot and that doesn't reach the spots that I need it to. But with this one, it really does. It feels like you're getting like a really good massage from somebody's hands. It's so great. So you can have different levels of intensity and it also has a heat function as well. And I actually have tried other foot massagers and they didn't really work for me. And they also didn't massage hard enough that I like how I wanted it. So this one I have to keep on level two. So that tells you how good of a massage it actually gives. It also comes with a remote so you can just sit there. Sit back, relax with your feet in the massager, and you don't have to bend over to change it. You can change all the different levels with the remote. So there's a coupon code down below with a link to the foot massager if you wanted to give it a try. Thank you to Bob and Brad for sponsoring today's video. And now let's get back to the bundle. So let's get started with one of those free patterns. This is the Alma by Nadia Glasser. This is a pattern she designed for Barroco, the Barroco Yarns. And it is... a free pattern available on their website and that link is included in the pattern page on Ravelry. This is a bulky weight sweater that is knit on a US 10 and a half or a six millimeter needle and of course they've suggested using their yarn either Barroco Hearthside which is a bulky weight yarn that's alpaca cotton and wool or they have suggested Emberstone which is another bulky weight Wool, cotton, and alpaca as well. So two different yarns there to choose from. This one only has three projects because it is brand new. So far, and so there's not a lot of ideas of other yarns that you could use, but you could use something very similar to that you want something that's a little bit fluffy and light and airy like that includes some alpaca, and so that the sweater doesn't just become like very dense because it's knit up in this fisherman's rib, it is a little bit longer, and it's, yeah, it's just a little bit oversized so if you knit that in a very like rustic solid sort of yarn. Um it would probably be a very heavy sweater. So this one is knit using um fisherman's rib. You're knitting it in flat in pieces from the bottom up and then it's seamed together and then it has these pockets that are integrated into that fisherman's rib. It also has a really beautiful cozy shawl collar included in it too. I just thought that this one looks so cozy warm and snuggly for the winter time. Okay, pattern number two is a colorwork sweater. This one really stood out to me, and I thought it was such a unique sweater, but the texture comes in more in the sleeves. And this is the Daisy Chain Sweater by Victoria Sarbender, and it is a DK weight sweater that's knit on a US 6 or a 4 millimeter needle. And the suggested yarn for this is BC Garn Brisa, which is an Aran weight yarn That is. uh alpaca and wool so i'm not sure why it says dk yarn but then the suggested yarn is an Aran weight yarn but this one is knit top down and the sweater begins with this folded neckband and yeah i thought it was just really beautiful with that very folksy kind of color work pattern on the front and then a very different textured sleeve to it which to me looks like it is done with a corrugated ribbing which is just where you alternate colors instead of doing knits and purls you just alternate color so it's basically color work but it gives this really cool texture. Pattern number three is the Puffer Vest by Clarissa Shalong and this is a bulky weight sweater that's knit on a US 10 10 or 6 millimeter needle. They suggest using the yarn Sandnes Garn. Frittis Garn. I'm saying that completely wrong but this is a bulky weight yarn that's 100% wool. This one gets its texture from the brioche tuck stitch and gives it that really like in the bulky weight yarn with that really cool brioche like ribbings look to it gives it that style like a puffer vest but in knitwear and I thought that that was really really unique. I think this would look really cool like styled over a turtleneck or just another long sleeve shirt and yeah just really really cute. So I think this is a great pattern for the transitional season especially here where I am it's the beginning of November. And it's 17 degrees this morning, like when my son left for school. And I'm just like, I don't know what he should wear to school because it's not not cold in the morning. So it feels very strange at the beginning of November. Like sometimes we have snow by now, but it yeah, it's very warm. But anyway, I think that this vest would be really cool. It does look like a puffer jacket, but just made out of wool. The next pattern is a beautiful cable pullover called the Opulence Pullover by Denise Hebner. This is an Aran weight sweater knit on a US 10 or 6 millimeter needle and the suggested yarn for this is Blue Sky Fibers Wool Stop Tweed. And that is an Aran weight yarn that is 85% wool 15% manufactured fibers. It says, with intertwining cables and shoulder saddles, this unisex pullover is a must-have for fireside reading and chilly days. This one comes in sizes from 33 to 64 inches. So this one is knit in the round, and it says it's charted. This one is pretty new so there's only one project so far but it does look really really good. The cables pattern on this one looks really beautiful. The next pattern is called the Oak Cardigan by Soup Knit and this is an Aran weight cardigan as well and it's knit on a US 8 or a 5 millimeter needle. The suggested yarn is Gepard Garn Woolia which is an Aran weight yarn that's 100% merino. This one has a European shoulder construction and it's worked from the top down. The pattern also includes video tutorials on how to pattern swatch, pick up stitches for the front, and also making the buttonholes. The next one is a beautiful cabled sweater that is modeled on the man here. It's the Saint Andrews sweater by Threads of the Earth. This is an Aran weight sweater knit on a US 7 or 4.5 millimeter needle. And the suggested yarn is John Arvin Textiles Devon Naturals Aran. This one comes in 11 different sizes, so it ranges from 97 to 158 centimeters. It says that this pattern was inspired by a jumper that my husband inherited from his grandfather who studied at St. Andrews University. This is where he met my partner's grandmother. With this sweater pattern, I hope that you too will be able to slowly create a fabulous piece that will be shared with generations to come. I think that's so sweet. The next one is a beautiful cable and ribbed cardigan called the Honey Cardigan by Brianna Mason. This one is a worsted weight cardigan knit on a US 7 or a 4.5 millimeter needle and the suggested yarn is Yarnalia Cozy which is a worsted weight yarn that is 100% alpaca. The honey cardigan is a relaxed drop shoulder style cardigan in a cable and rib pattern and it has a very polished double knit button band. It's knit top down and seamlessly with an all-over cable and rib pattern. This one comes in nine different sizes with a finished bust measurement of 40 and a quarter to 71 inches or 101 to 178 centimeters. This one's really beautiful. I love that it's knit in that alpaca. It's going to be really soft and squishy and cozy and yeah I like the v-neck and the different cables and then mixed in with the ribbing. Another gorgeous cable textured, all over textured pullover is the Literary Lover and this is by Annie Lupton. It is an Aran weight sweater knit on a US 9 or a 5.5 millimeter needle. And it has the suggested yarn is Biscotti Yarns Griffin, which is an Aran weight yarn that's 100% wool. This one has so many different textures on it. It's got bobbles on it, it has cables, and I just thought it was really beautiful. I think it has either moss or seed stitch on it as well. Lots of different textures that I thought were really beautiful. The Literary Lover is a scholarly inspired sweater and the body features textured moss stitch and a striking cable and bobble pattern running up the center front and then the sleeves feature moss stitch and a cable as well. It has an oversized drop shoulder fit which makes it super super cozy and a really great layering piece. This one comes in seven different sizes from 40.5 To 70.25 inches or 103 to 178.5 centimeters. Oh the next one has a really beautiful cable uh front here with a whole bunch of different um styles of cables. It is the Matanuk by Megan Babin. This is a DK weight sweater that's knit on a U.S. 6 or a 4 millimeter needle and the suggested yarn is Woodnote DK from Baa Raum Uld. This one says ocean wind through beach grass and dune paths at golden hour. Matanuk is an ode to the textures, light, and soothing calm of the beach in autumn. When the summer tourists have left, the beach becomes a sanctuary where we don our coziest sweaters and head to the shoreline with our knitting, books, blanket, and a camp chair. Inspired by the beach of its namesake in South County, Rhode Island, this timeless heritage inspired sweater is covered in my signature cables and textures reminiscent of the New England England seaside. The nautical cable panels on the front and back are flanked by simple braided cables and effortless garter rib stitch texture for tactile and visual comfort. So this one is a unisex sweater with a full fashioned drop shoulder and it's worked from the bottom up with an optional tubular cast on and joined with a three needle bind off at the shoulder. The yoke measurements are unisex and Women's and men's versions are included in the pattern for the lower body and the sleeves. There is gentle underarm and sleeve cap shaping for a better fit. And then it has a folded crew neck band that's picked up and worked in the round after seaming. So this one comes in nine different sizes ranging from 38 1⁄4 to 70 1⁄4 inches or 95 1⁄2 to 175 1⁄2 centimeters. Here is a more softly textured sweater called the Ripple Sweater by Lena Crowe. This is a worsted weight sweater knit on a US 6 or 4 millimeter needle and the suggested yarn for this is Garn Alize Adonia which is a worsted weight alpaca silk and cotton blend yarn. This one comes in sizes from 40 and a quarter to 61 and three quarter inches or 102 to 157 centimeters and it has a difficulty rating listed here which is a three out of five. The Ripple Sweater is a light, soft, oversized sweater with European shoulders and picked-up sleeves. It is worked in stockinette stitch with small cables running down both the body and the sleeve, and the neckband is worked in rib to match the edges of the body and sleeve. This sweater is named after the gentle ripples on the sea surface in a light breeze. Another beautiful cabled sweater is called Slipstream by Mackenzie Alvarez and this is a very beautiful worsted weight sweater that's knit on a US 8 or a 5 millimeter needle. The suggested yarn for this is Lion Brand Wool Ease Solid which is a 80% acrylic 20% wool yarn. This sweater is worked in the round from the bottom up. The front of the garment is designed with an all over cable and the back is worked in stockinette. So if you just want to try a little bit of cabling that's not all over the entire sweater, this might be a good one for you to try where you're just doing the cabling at the front. So there would only be a few different panels of cabling to work. The shoulders are joined with a three needle bind off and the sleeve stitches are then picked up around the armhole and worked in stockinette to the cuff. This one comes in sizes from 34 to 66 inches or 86 to 167 centimeters. Another beautiful all-over cable cardigan is the Knitonomy Minto V-neck Cardigan by Magdalena Parker. This is an Aran weight cardigan knit on a US 8 or a 5 millimeter needle. And the suggested yarn for this one is Cascades yarn ecological wool, which is a bulky weight yarn that's 100% wool. This one is worked top down. There's not a lot of details on the pattern page of how this one is knit up. But it is worked top down. It looks like it has a dropped shoulder. It's a little bit oversized with some positive ease. This one comes in sizes from 91 to 168 centimeters. I think this is a really beautiful like sort of boxy cardigan but it does look like it has a very nice flowy texture to it a little bit of drape. I've been meaning to try that Cascades ecological wool so this would be a really great uh sweater to do that with. They have a really nice one it's like just a beige color but I really like that um neutral beige it's um not warm at all so I think I would like to try that with this sweater. Another beautiful cable cardigan. I just love the look of the cables on the back of this one. It's so pretty. This one is called the Davy Cardigan by Meg Blanchard, and this is a free pattern. This is a lace plus Aran for an Aran weight, and it's knit on a US 9 or a 5.5 millimeter needle. This one comes in 12 different sizes, and let's see the sizing here. It has a finished bust circumference of 111 to 192 centimeters. So the Davy cardigan is an oversized all over cable cardigan with saddle shoulders and a chunky crew neck. The cardigans worked from the top down and the pattern is fully charted for each size. I really like how it has those sort of I don't know what those cables are called but they're like they look like o shapes that run down in front beside the button bands. I think that looks so pretty and then there are there's a huge panel of them on the back as well. And I love that this pattern is available for free. That is so awesome. The suggested yarn for this one is Garn Studio Drops Alaska, which is an Aran weight, 100% wool. And then you hold that together with Drops Kid Silk. So a mohair. And then my last two patterns I wanted to mention these are actually only available in a book but they're from Claudia Quintanilla's new book that's just recently come out called Threads of Memory Knitting with Meaning and this looks like an absolutely beautiful book. I actually have a copy that's being sent to me and it's on its way to me now so hopefully in my next podcast I'm going to be able to share with you a little bit more that's inside that book. I'm super excited. Because these two sweaters are absolutely beautiful with tons of all over texture to them. So the first one is the Irena sweater. This one is a fingering plus lace for DK weight and it's knit on a US 6 or 4 millimeter needle. The suggested yarns for these ones are the... Are there Is it Madame Philippon by Amelia and Philomene any other which is a fingering weight 50% merino 50% percent cotton and then you're going to hold that together that you would with their Leona which is mohair and this one is like to add just yeah like I said all over cable with this really beautiful chunky turtleneck. to the Q&A? It is a circular yoke neck pullover worked from the top down. It looks so squishy and cozy and with those two yarns paired together I think it would make such a nice and fluffy sweater for winter. And the next one from her book is called Luna and this one is a light fingering plus lace for a sport weight yarn. It is knit on a US 4 or 3.5 millimeter needle and it comes in sizes from 39 and a quarter to 61 and a half inches or 99.5 to 156 centimeters. The suggested yarns for this one It is knitting. Thing for olive mohair held together with Sandnes Garn Sunday. I really like the color this icy blue I think it's icy blue or it's a very light gray that's used to knit the sample and I think it's beautiful lots of different textures on this one as well. I see a mention of I think it's rice stitch you do your gauge swatch in rice stitch so I'm not sure what that is exactly. But yeah, lots of different textures going on in this one as well. So I'm really excited to see all of the different patterns that are in Claudia's new book. Alright, so that's everything on my bundle today.
